If you are looking for a keynote speaker or workshop teacher for a weekend conference, I'd love for you to contact me. If you are looking for a keynote speaker I will gladly put together a keynote address suitable for the time length and number of sessions for your ladies group, retreat, workshop, or conference. If you have a group looking for an interesting speaker, I can also speak and answer questions just about being an author.

As to writing workshop topics, here is a sample list of some of the workshops I have done or can do at writers conferences or retreats.

• Hero, heroine, and villain archetypes - use them, choose them, but don't abuse them.
• Interior monlogue - make your interior monologue effective, and realistic to your reader
• Outline on a Clothseline - one method of outlining that will help you multilayer your story, add subplots, balance scenes, and advance your plot.
• POV - nail POV so it's solid and in characater, for an entire scene, with no headhopping, and no telling, either.
• Time management - make time to write, and have a life, too.
• Giving your characters character - bring your characters to life and make them real enough for your reader to be their friend... or enemy.
• When to start, and when to say the end - start your story where the story really starts, and when it's over, know when to say The End and mean it.
• Using humor in your writing, or not.... learn hints and tips, but no stand up jokes.
• Plotting - make a plot, make it work
• See it smell it taste it hear it feel it -and then put it in your novel.
• Unblocking Writers Block
• Scene and Sequel, keep raising bar and keep your story rolling until it's time to do or die, then don't die.
